DOJ tells appeals court presidents can sell national security secrets on eBay

DOJ says presidents should be able to sell secrets on eBay

At a D.C. Circuit hearing on the Trump administration's push to privatize presidential papers, Judge Patricia Millett asked whether a president could then auction off national security secrets to the highest bidder. The Justice Department answered yes. Freedom of the Press Foundation and CREW are fighting a DOJ memo that declares the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional and makes White House files the president's personal property.
